In the General tab, make sure that “Show icon in notification area when connected” is checked.

In the Authentication tab, select the “Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1X” check box. Then, select the EAP method. Both PEAP and
TTLS are tested

Make sure all check boxes that imply machine authentication, Smart Card or Client Certificates are unchecked. Check in each tab and sub-menus

Save Changes

Disable/Enable the wireless interface or if necessary reboot the machine.

The authentication process is as follows:

Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and log on to the local machine.

Select the ietf.1x or ietf-a.1x wireless network

You should have either a Username/Password pop-up or a bubble will appear on the icon for your wireless adapter.

After establishing the EAP authentication, notice that the bubble (balloon) appears in the notification area.

Click on the bubble (balloon) to open the network logon window.

Provide your username and password.

Notes:

If a user logs in incorrectly twice, the Windows XP client will typically not let them retry the login again. The only way to let them retry is to reboot (or log off) the XP client or disable/enable the interface.

After launching the network logon window by clicking the bubble (balloon), the user might get another bubble (balloon) in the notification area before logging in. In this case, the user must close the logon window opened previously and click the bubble (balloon) which appeared in the notification area to re-launch the network logon window.

OS X

For most users selecting the ietf.1x or ietf-a.1x SSID you will be prompted for Username and Password and using your new credentials should be authenticated to the network.
For those of you who have cached ietf/ietf as username and password, or those who have never done 802.1x you may need to edit your 802.1X profiles as follows;

Linux/BSD Secure Supplicant Setup

Given that different distributions have different solutions and to avoid political discussions, please come to the HelpDesk if you need assistance configuring the 802.1X supplicant for your system.

User Submitted Known-Working Configurations

as an aside... I fought some with ubuntu-lucid today and got on the wireless:
(network manager promptiness)
o wpa2/enterprise
o PEAP
o MSCHAPv2
o emtpy anonymous-id
o Username: 10-digit registration-id (from the registration email,
yes this is a circular dependency)
o passwd: documented passwd
On the ietf-a.1x this config works for me, on Ubuntu-Lucid && Android (phone).

Thanks to Chris Morrow <morrowc@…>

this is what I have in wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="ietf.1x"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
identity="XXXXXXXXXX"
password="ietf"
}

Thanks to Mark Andrews <marka@…>

If you are using wpa_supplicant you can try the following;
edit the wpa_supplicant.conf
then execute...
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# Sample config verified on freeBSD
Put the following in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="ietf.1x"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
identity="number on back of ietf badge"
password="ietf"
}
Replace "number on back of ietf badge" with the number on the back of
your IETF badge or on anonymous slip.
Then add the following to /etc/rc.conf. This is for wpi0. If you use
a different interface, comment out the existing entry and add the
following substituting your interface for wpi0.
wlans_wpi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA ssid ietf.1x mode 11g"
You may not need the "mode 11g" at the end.

For me ietf-a.1x worked today on my MacBook after I removed an old entry
in the 802.1X Network tab of the System Preferences. The old ietf.1x
and ietf-a.1x were from previous meeting (with user name ietf).

Thanks to Benno Overeinder <benno@…>

Configuration instructions (Blackberry Bold 2 9700). OS v5.0, which I believe is their newest.
Menu->Options->Security Options->Advanced Security Options->TLS
The problem I had was that 'TLS Default' was set to 'Proxy'. The only other choice is 'Handheld'; set it to that.
Then do
Menu->Setup->Set Up Wi-Fi->Wi-Fi Options.
Click on ietf.1x, then Edit,
Select a CA certificate. Any certificate doesn't matter. Scroll down anf check 'Disable Server Certificate Validation'.
This is, IIRC, all you need to do. Works for me, YMMV.
